USA

We are pleased to announce the US Branch has brokered an agreement between the Institution of Fire Engineers and the Center for Public Safety Excellence--the certifying body for the US Chief Fire Officer Designation (CFOD) program--to recognize CFO designees in the IFE Member Grade (MIFireE). CFO members may now submit an abbreviated application form which will be reviewed by the US Branch Membership Committee, endorsed and then a final review made by the Assessment Panel at IFE HQ for the applicant to receive his/her IFE certificate and grade designation.

To gain this international recognition will be a big boost for US CFOs and help them with networking, information exchange and making the fire service/engineering discipline a truly global body. There are currently approximately 500 CFO designees in the US.
